Kamana is Sanskrit in Origin.
Kamana is a feminine given name of South Asian origin, from Sanskrit kāmanā (Devanagari कामना), meaning “wish, desire, cherished aspiration,” and by extension “prayer” or “longing.” In classical Sanskrit literature, kāmanā denotes the human impulse to wish or yearn, often in philosophical and poetic contexts. As a given name, it carries positive connotations of hope and intention.
Contemporary usage is widespread in India and Nepal, especially among Hindi- and Nepali-speaking families, and it appears across other Indo-Aryan languages such as Marathi and Bengali. The name gained popularity in the 20th century as abstract-noun virtues became fashionable. Common variants include Kaamna (also Kaamnaa), Kamna (contracted form), Kāmana (diacritic transliteration), and regional spellings like Kaamana. Diminutives may be Kami or Mana.
Kamana is far from common. We have only 172 recorded uses of it on record, from 30 countries.
